Retailers are offering more sales this year but with smaller discounts, according to consultants at PWC.
Lisa Hooker, consumer markets lead at PWC, said: “We expect an increase in promotions as we head towards Christmas and into the Boxing Day sales but these are likely to be planned, targeted and not as heavily discounted as we’re used to seeing.
“In a number of categories reports of excess stock seem to be wide of the mark, which means retailers aren’t desperate to offload overstock at margin-eroding discounts.
